Oh, please Freepers did not get a big head after rathergate. We had big heads many years before that. I listened to Sean's audio. Am I wrong that FR is the biggest conservative blog/news forum? And he just happened to criticize FR while hawking his own site? As for his claim of "childish comments" and "eating our own" I say guilty, but on what open forum will you not get arguments and some immature remarks? I think Sean was referring to criticism of him, but mostly he was trying to make Freepers think he has a better site.

And how shameless is he suggesting that you're going to meet the guy or gal of your dreams on his blog site?

Just listened to the audio. My grandmother had a saying ... "More to be pitied than scorned, dear"...

I wonder if his producers ever make him listen to tapes of his show?

I think FR is still very humble. The whole community of freepers was proud and awe struck by Buckhead and the Rathergate story. I was fortunate to basically lurk through the whole story as it happened. I got on board 9am that following morning after the first posts had been made already. I forget the date. It was awesome. Nothing wrong with having Dan Rather's scalp on your tent pole, neither. But I think most freepers still celebrate every big and small success. I'm just a goof-off loitering the forum since 2000. But the primary purpose of FR is to facilitate activism; i.e., action. And there's plenty of that going on. So it's a blog but it's also a network of real people who are walking the walk and ponying up money, too. Not big headed at all.
